Description

George Soros has been warning for years of a financial meltdown fueled by easy credit and sleepy regulation. In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers sits down with Soros—author of The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means—to talk about the global capital crisis, how he saw it coming, and what can be done about it now. And as the 2008 presidential campaigns continue to heat up, Moyers checks in with Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, to talk about dirty politics and how it will likely play out in the final weeks before the election.
